It’s ugly old white man day on Press the Meat (OK, pretty much every day is ugly old white man day, but still…), as Mike Mullen, Mike Bloomberg, Ed Rendell, and perhaps the ugliest old white man in the whole wide world, Alan Greenspan all make an appearance on today’s show. Then it’s a roundtable with Doris Kearns Goodwin and Mark Halperin.
Mullen also stops by CBS’s Faze the Nation, along with angry, crazy, old white guy Jon Kyl, the President of the Council On Foreign Relations, Richard Haass, and Thomas Saenz, President of the Mexican American Legal Defense And Education Fund (Thomas, I’ll give you a buck if you say, “screw you, Kyl!“).
On Fux News Sunday, mustela meets ursa as Weaselface Wallace gets some exclusive one-on-one action with the mama Grizzly herself, Sarah Palin. Perhaps they’ll talk about Chelsea Clinton’s wedding, and how those despicable people raised a no-good kid who didn’t even bother to get knocked up before she got married (librul trash probably learnt about the evil birth control and never even took a chastity pledge, I betcha). Or maybe Sarah will discuss Bristol’s upcoming (maybe) on-again, off-again marriage with what’s his name, assuming he can stop knocking up his other girlfriends long enough to set a date to rent out the Wasilla Knights of Columbus hall for the reception (and they’ll do it up right, with a couple kegs of PBR and them fancy colored plastic cups). I bet Mama Bear will go out back and show the guys how she can write her name in the snow, too.
As if that wasn’t enough, they’ll also have that ugly old white guy with the waxy embalmed look, the chinless wonder himself, Ferret Face Mitch McConnell. But wait, there’s more! Also up, the man whose hue does not exist in nature (and even Sherwin Williams can’t duplicate), John Boehner (do you think that’s mascara he wears, or is he part raccoon?). Oh, and I’m sure the usual fuxheads will be around, too.
Over at the Goebbels network, it’s the debut of the much anticipated, long awaited, “This Weak with Christiane Amanpour.” For her first show, Christi has SecDef Robert Gates, who is shocked and appalled at the WikiLeaks documents (not that they show what a worthless waste of time Afghanistan is, but that the public found out). Bob will also tell us that whole July 2011 troop withdrawal thing really isn’t gonna happen (gee, now it’s my turn to be shocked). Then Christi asks Nancy Pelosi if Afghanistan has been “worth it” (silly woman; of course it’s been worth it. I mean, look at all the great shit we’ve gotten out of it). Plus, there’s a “powerhouse” roundtable with George :jerk: Will, political mastermind Donna Brazile, Paul Krugman and journalist Ahmed Rashid.
Over at CNN, Fareed Zakaria talks to Senator John Kerry about the WikiLeaks and the war in Afghanistan, Iran and politics.
Then it’s the Pakistani Ambassador to the US’s turn to be shocked and appalled at the WikiAllegations that the Pakistani intelligence service has been colluding with the Taliban. Also, Hugo Chavez is threatening the US again (is he? What’s he threatening to do?).
I’d like to see Hugo and John Kerry appear together – what a contrast that would be: a fiery Venezuelan and a guy who looks (and sounds) like an Ent from Lord of the Rings. Then, a panel of “experts’ featuring Hendrik Hertzberg of the New Yorker, Reuters’ global editor-at-large Chrystia Freeland, and Ross Douthat of the N.Y. Times on the Obama’s administration’s handling of the crises that seem to keep coming at them.
And finally, a $35 iPad? Oh, Steve Jobs won’t like that one little bit.
Personally, I just can’t wait to see what happens on True Blood tonight (I hope Bill and Sookie will be OK). They really left us hangin’ last week.
Have a good Sunday, y’all.
